the jews could say the same thing about defeating the muslims, etc. really pick and choose whichever you want. citing the roman put down of the jewish rebellion isn’t exactly great history, dilbert.Dilbert_X wrote:
Thats great and all but there were defeated by the Romans and chose to leave.
Plenty of other groups have philological links to the region, and more recently, why do the jews have exclusive primacy?
Right. The root of Semitic languages is most likely in Sumer. Even without philological analysis, the Epic of Gilgamesh shares a connection to the Torah, concerning the flood story in any case.uziq wrote:
even without archeological records, there is clear philological link to the levant and middle-east. it’s clear that hebrew and aramaic peoples were in the region, perhaps even coming from the desert in the east. dilbert’s elementary mistake about jew’s origins says all you need to know about that branch of anti-semites. they don’t even know what semitic cultures are !
Some of my family met that end. At least a great or great great grandfather and I believe grandma too. A violinist in the royal court of Austro-Hungary. Not sure at which death camp.Jay wrote:

Oh lots probably, same question for you and your ancestors, still not an excuse for the jews to carry out pogroms based on racism in the present day.Jay wrote:
I wonder how many of dilberts "we've been here since the Norman conquest!" ancestors initiated pogroms against Jews in order to avoid repaying debts. I wonder how many Africans and Indians were killed, looted and raped. I wonder how many Africans his relatives bought into slavery. The English really should avoid all talk of racism.
Thats a blood libel and you need to retract it.initiated pogroms against Jews in order to avoid repaying debts

Yep, he was working as a security guard and dragged her out of her car as she was leaving.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said that Martel had “no legal authority to detain the victim.”
Edit: That's probably why he lied in his police report about what happened, because he had no legal right to detain her at all, much less use this level of force.
Also probably a lot of coronavirus.This is an example of how the whole protest came to nought. There were no major reforms to policing in the U.S. but instead just a bunch of cultural wins for African Americans. And those cultural wins won't go far in helping low income blacks.
Who is liable when someone skids on an unapproved surface and kills someone?unnamednewbie13 wrote:
White people who are bothered by this on some political level might at the very least be a passive part of the problem. Re: "forced participation," I would hardly classify public uproar over things like police abuses to be on the same level as erecting a confederate monument in a prominent location in response to desegregation and the civil rights movement, then having the gall to claim it's for "celebrating heritage" or whatever.
Did you see that social media post of that one woman shutting down her grandson's confederate post? To the effect of "you're Scotch-Irish and our family wasn't even here during the civil war." Ouch.
Anyway, the biggest issues are on the technical level:
1) Painted surfaces can get slick, but wear to traffic should mitigate this.
2) Lane markings are obfuscated.
If this were to become a permanent feature,
etc..
I think the simplest answer is that the police would probably determine that the person who skidded is at fault for driving too fast in unsafe conditions.Dilbert_X wrote:

Elsewhere, these murals are being vandalized. At the very least it's been making for interesting social news.City Department of Public Works employees were up early on a rainy Friday morning removing the words “defund the police” from Water Street directly across from City Hall.
The Department of Public Works' decision to remove the mural, officials said in a news release Thursday, was "solely about safety." City officials said the mural's paint obscures traffic lines and has been slick when wet.
“The message painted on Water Street has been heard loud and clear by policy makers in city government, and the Department of Public Works has no intention to diminish the voices calling for change,” said Commissioner of Public Works Jeff Polenske.
[...]
The "defund the police" message was painted on the street by protesters on July 1 without the city’s permission. Several police officers were on hand to help block the street as workers used chemicals, push brooms and high-powered hoses to scrub away the words.
Activists protesting racial inequality and police brutality have clashed with law enforcement multiple times over the last two months. However, the majority of the marches and events have been peaceful.
Only one protester was present for the mural removal, Frank Sensabaugh, who goes by the nickname Frank Nitty.
Sensabaugh said the city released more precise guidelines if activists want to paint the message again.
“We’ll paint it again with better paint,” Sensabaugh said, noting he plans to make sure the new mural will abide by the guidelines. “I’m a fair guy. We’ll do a non-slip mural.”
